meeting elected Capt. j. A. Stratton,

THE DAVIS AFFAIR.

News was received in this city last
evening of the arrest of NTH. Davis of
this city in Caldwell, Kansas, in compa-
ny with Mrs. Girard, with whom he
had eloped from Wellington. Mr.. Da-
Wis is an engineer in the Santa Fe en-
plOy, his run being on the Newton
branch. He has family living in this
city at 713 Neosho street. The daugh-
ter is at present in Kansas City. Our
reporter called at the family residence
and found no one at home. He next
called at the Santa Fe depot and learned
that he was invery good standing with
the company, careful, competent
man. His run being on the Newton
branch he was necessarily away from
his family for weeks at a time. 1t was
while at work that he became &C
quainted with Mrs. Girard. Just how
bad the affair is cannot be known until
further reports arrive from Wellington.
The friends of Mr.. Davis and his fami-
ly hope that the matter has been paint
ed in darker colors than the facts will
substantiate. Mrs. Davis and her fam
lily are very estimabIe people and have
the sympathy of the community in
their sad trouble.

ST. LOUIS ball tossers are in a fury,
as on Sunday last Mr.. Won der Abe,
president of the base ball club, was ar
rested for violation of the Sunday law,
and the game broken up. A crowd of
about 5000 people were disappointed of
their afternoons amusement, and adj
journed to the beer gardens, which were
running at full blast, decision of
Judge Noonan last week declaring it
lawful to drink beer, but not whisky.
AS this is evidently concession to the
immense German population of the
city, the G. A. r. boys may rest as
sured of a hearty welcome, as the
Dutch, ''as the rebels call them, are
loyal to the core, and a large majority
of them are old federal soldiers.

OuR WASHINGTON LETTER
Ial Correspondenco of the NEWS:

Special Correspondence of the NEWS:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July II, 1851
The exodus of people from the city
on Independence day was so great as
to leave the streets nearly deserted.
All of the outgoing trains and excursion
boats were taxed to their utmost Ca
pacity to accommodate those desiring
to spend the day at the various pleasure
resorts. The day was appropriately
observed at the white house. The
president drove in from Oak View
early in the day and remained at his
desk until late in the afternoon, though
nearly the entire force of employees
were off for holiday. Secretary Whit
ney gave picnic party: at his country
seat for the benefit of the employees of
the navy department which was
largely attended and thoroughly enjoyed
There was no formality about the
affair, and the day was passed very
pleasantly by all present.
The clerks IN the new pension building
who are required tOwork in rooms upon
the fourth floor during the present very
warm weather, complain Of the eX-
cessiVe heat. These rooms have no
ventilation excepting through small
holes i'll the skylight, and it is said
that several days during the past week
the temperature in the rooms has
reached 100 degrees, and no less than
eight of the clerks were overcome by
the heat and had to be conveyed otheir
homes. When the building was con-
structed, the rooms upon the upper floor
were not intended to be occupied by
clerks, but were intended as file rooms.
The health authorities have been APP
pealed to with the hope that they will
come to the rescue of the clerks who
are doomed to work in such uncOmfort-
able quarters.
The Presidents letter to the mayor of
st. Louis revoking his acceptance of an
invitation to visit that city during the
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has been gener-
ally discussed here during the past two
or three days. The friends of the
president insist that he has pursued
the proper course in view of the abuse
that he has been subjected to since his
acceptance of the invitation. 1t is
probabely, however that the st. Louis in
cident will not interfere with the
presidents contemplated western trip
as he has received numerous invitations
from other western cities, and has upOI
several occasions expressed desire to
visit the west during the summer, il
case he finds it possible to do so without
interfering with his Official duties.
A very interesting and valuable adj
dition to the exhibits of the National
museum has been made by MIR. Thomas
Wilson who for many years was Consul
| to Client, Belgium. The exhibit COM
prises without doubt the most complete
and valuable collection of antiquarian
relics, ever gotten together by an in
| dividual and aside from the great eX
pense incurred by Mr.. Wilson, he has

| five years to the study and classification

YANsAs MURDERERs.

That the state law of Kansas, in re-
gard to punishment Of murderers, Is
farce and fraud, is being thor
oughly proven by the state board of
pardons, now in session at Topeka.
This board iscompoSed of Gen. j. c.
Caldwell, chairman; A. j. Felp, of Sa-
betha, and Robert Stevenson, of lola,
and in proof of the assertion above
made we have only to state that IN a
long list of penitentiary convicts recon-
mended for pardon, we find the fol-
lowing:
Hugh and Isaac GriIliland, Wilson
county; murder, May 10, 1884, to be
Cyremus C. Hendricks. Chautauqua
county: murder, June "a, 1884, to be
hanged.
Willis Jackson, Sumner county; muir
der, November u, 1880, to be hanged.
Henry Kellen (Wm. III. Leonardl,
Finney county; murder, April 10, 1885,
Clark W. Mckinney, Butler county;
murder, May 26, 1888, to be hanged.
In addition TO this list of murderers
recommended for executive pardon, to
be again turned loose on the communi-
ty, to again commit murder and be-
come a heavy burden in the way of
taxes to prosecute their trials, is anoth-
er much longer list of murderers in the
second degree, who are also recon-
mended for pardon.
With the certainty that the Kansas
law provides no worse penanty for muir
der than imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for life, and with the above proof
that there is good show for a pardon
from soft-hearted governor, is it any
wonder that criminals from Missouri
and other neighboring states make it
point to inveigle their victims over into
our state in order to take their lives with
the least possible risk to themselves in
case of detection.
If Governor Martin wishes to do the
right thing for the state of Kansas, in
stead of pardoning these murderers, he
will order the sentenced of the court
that convicted them executed, and thus
strike terror into the hearts of others
contemplating crime.
The Baxter-Smith murder case, which
occurred on the Cottonwood a short
time ago, is an instance wherein both
the murderer and his victim came all
the way from Kansas City, and it is
more than possible that this law was
an incentiye to the preparation of the
crime in our state.
Lyon county alone has, within the
last six years, been the theatre of eight
alleged murders, and in every case but
one have the criminals been convicted
and the farce of sentencing them to
be hanged by the neck until
dead has been gone through, only to
end in their being sent to the peniten-
tiary, where they are lodged and fed at
the expense of the law-abiding and
Woodworking citizens of our state.
Another point worthy of notice in
this connection is the fact that of all
these murders but one, we believe, was
a resident of the city for over few
days OF weeks previous to committing
the crime.
This being so, is it not a question for
our people to decide as to the advisa-
bility of continuing law which prac-
tically puts premium on the perpetra-
ton of murder within her borders, and
thus not only gives us a bad reputa-
ton, but also puts our citizens to
heavy expense and trouble?

THE WRONG MAN.

Sheriff White returned this morn
ing on the early train from Louisiana,
Missouri, where he had been called by
telegram announcing the capture of
Del Smith, the murderer of e. L. Bax-
ter. Upon arriving in Louisiana he
found that the sheriff had caught
the wrong man, drunken tailor who
was suffering from the jimjams, and
who talked about having killed man
in Kansas. The mans name is Smith
and he was in this city last june, work
ing for one of our tailor establishments.
Mr.. White is considerably disguised
with the outcome of the affair.

The wheat crop of Great Britain
about the middle of June was reported
to have immensely improved, and to
! give greater promise than at the cor
responding date in 1886.
1t appears, from the last report of the
! Gothard Railway over the mountains,
that Germany has the most advantage
from this line. Germany and Belgium
export double the amount to TIA "
which the latter is exporting to Ger
many and Belgium, viz, DID 600 tons
in 1886.
Arrangements have been perfected
for submarine cable from Vancouver
to Australia by way of the Sandwich
and Fiji Islands. The line will cost
81 ,000, 900, and an annual subsidy of
S400 900 has been secured from the Can
ada, Hawaiian and Australian Govern
mentS.
1t is reported from China that the
viceroy, Li-Hung-Chang,h has sanction
ed the construction by Chinese syn
dictate of railroad between TientSin
and Sotai Taku. The decision caused
great disappointment among the for
eign bidders for this concession. 1t is
hoped that the undertaking may leadsto
the construction of other lines.
French and Russian Ambassadors at
Constantinople promptly lodged the OBJ
iections of their Government to the ra-
LITIGATION by Turkey of the Anglo-Tur-
key convention relative to Egypt. The
French Ambassador, in communicate
ing his Governments objections, limited
that, if the Sultan ratified the eonven-
ton, such action might cost him his
throne.
A report read at the annual meeting
of the firms associated with the Paris
Bankers Clearing House showed that
in the fifteen years during which that
institution had been in existence. it
has cleared paper for sum of As, O00, 600,
600 francs, representing an average of
8, 200, O00. 900 a year. The annual cost of
working had been reduced to SCOOP,

Well may the people of France stand
aghast at the financial problem they
are called upon to solve. On the LIST of
January, 1880, the public debt of
France amounted to SO, 20O, 600 600; on
the Ist of February, 1887. it reached 81
524, 900 900. Thus, in seven years the
debt has peen swelled to the tune of
81 ,324, 900. O00-an increase of such fear
full proportions as to justly create alarm
for the solyeney OF France,
